why does the uk still own all those islands around the world? why not let them go and become countries of their own

Like what? Caribbean islands wouldn't make it on their own and everything else has British populations or is a military base.

INDEPENDENCE FOR HAWAII!

They're our fallbacks should Anglo Hive Prime be incapacitated (God forbid).
Oliver Parker
i agree

All those islands choose to be a British Overseas Territory. 98.97% of Gibraltar wants to remain British. 99.8% of the Falklands wants to remain British. The citizens are clearly quite happy with the way things are, I don't see why some people on a Vietnamese fingerpainting forum think this is a bad thing.

well, they govern themselves anyway. you could give them foreign aid, if you care about them so much

Britain does.
Lucas Roberts
you could even keep your military bases in them, like we do in Micronesia and Marshall Islands

They're fine with being non sovereign.
